    Saving for next firearm - something a bit different

    Hi all,

    Generally I save my ducats for one larger annual purchase to feed my hunting and shooting hobby. Recently it has taken the form of range finding binoculars and other such non-firearms related items due to the registry.

    However, I feel the itch to start saving for another firearm. I am thinking something a bit novel that I can reload for and use for close cover hunting. The options I have been toying with:

    - Lever action or single shot in .454 Casull (I don't own a lever gun or anything that uses a straight wall case. I am left handed so the top eject has an appeal. I also like the idea of a less common cartridge with a big bang to experiment with at the reloading bench)
    - Bergara BA13 in 45-70 (Straight wall and a bit rude, a bit of a classic that still performs with modern bullets. I could see myself using such a firearm when stalking in the lower North Island)

    Would be keen on hearing peoples thoughts on those options, or any other ideas you may suggest. Again keen to try something a bit different, already have a few good bolt actions.
